Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I figured it would get more eyes here than elsewhere. I've been searching for a company/person that can make a back half interior for my bug but I'm coming up blank.

Similar to the old Big Wig kits that used to be available is what i'm looking for. I reached out to them and was told no way are they doing them anymore. RLR offered them for a bit on their site but Ron didn't want to make them either when I last called and asked (this was a LONG time ago) and they are no longer listed on his site.

So...who else is out there? Any recommendation appreciated.

harbor fright has bead rollers and snips....poaaiably a sheer too....and a break. they used to have a combonation thingy.... doing that stuff isant hard but take practice...lots of it .I used to do a lot of race cars & some show& pro street stuff....long ago. my brother made a super trick bead roller out at the big machine shop on the airforce base. that thing was awesome.I bought a harbor fright bead roller when we closed the racecar/chassie shop( to many jobs, not enough time to do our own stuff & race, he still does a few cars a year at his shop at home. Ive never used the harbor fright bead roller but it's about 1/4 the quality of the one he built. Ill have to polish all the rollers before I ever start using it if I ever do it again for my self. carbon fiber pannels are the way to go now days. Wink
